My Bucket List

Something fun that is helping me to focus on the positive! I wanted to share what my dreams are. These dreams have been compiled since I was young. They are in no particular order, and I mixed up the dreams I had as a child with the ones I have as an adult. I removed some dreams that no longer apply. Some of them I have already done, but I left them there because I want to check them off my list. There’s no explanation as to why anything is on my list.

This list seems long, but there is a lot of life left in me, and I plan to achieve 99.99% of them. Aw, heck, let’s go for 100%!

Enjoy, let me know what you think, and please share with me what your dreams are!
